I'll probably still be picking pecans. Its finally getting cold enough for the leaves to really fall off instead of drift off. Tomorrow we're supposed to get 50~60 mph winds, so I hope the leaves are blown across the street. I'll stay inside and drink warm beverages. Of course, my wife will want me to help prepare for the visit of two my our three kids. ( I knew I should have converted the rooms to not usable for others.) Good post, now to find a new calendar.

actually this is what i think....

we have had several of the "end of the days" come and go. from what ive seen this is the last doomsday date out there. so when this day passes are we finally clear of the end of the world dates? was it they just wanted to have the last laugh? "hey lets freak them out and see what they do".

Well, there is of course the final "end of days" that is no joke and is essentially inescapable. And that's when our sun runs out of hydrogen in its core to fuel it's thermonuclear fusion process and becomes a red giant star. While our sun is not massive enough to explode in a nova or super nova event, it will nevertheless dramatically expand outwards totally consuming Mercury and Venus in the process. While there is some conjecture as to whether the outer surface of the massively expanded sun will actually reach the orbit of our planet, most astronomers agree that will in fact happen such that the Earth will be completely vaporized. However, even if Earth was to technically escape that fate, it would at the very least be left as a totally desiccated planet with no atmosphere and a molten surface.

The good news? This won't happen for about 5 billion years, so there's plenty of time to prepare.

LOL - of course it isn't man caused ! Some people think too highly of man's ability, they honestly believe man can destroy the earth. It is laughable. We may destroy ourselves, but the earth will keep turning (and changing) with or without our help.

see ya Saturday,

Please do not confuse my meaning or attempt put your words in my mouth. I was specifically speaking about a world-ending interplanetary event in about 5 billion years, not the greenhouse gas situation that we are currently experiencing.
